And only after the immunity is replenished with resources, you can start stimulating and immunomodulating it with herbs, extracts, spices. It will be useful to include herbs such as oregano, echinacea, ginseng, lemongrass, plantain, and you can add ginger, cinnamon, turmeric, oregano, rosemary, onion, garlic, etc. to food and drinks.
